I listen on catch up in bed each night with headphones on. I find it relaxing. I agree some story lines are a bit ridiculous but I enjoy the longevity of the programme.

The storylines are ridiculous at the moment especially the Brookfield B&B which was daft from the start. They’re all too busy, David and Ruth can’t cook, Jill’s gone on strike (about time) and they don’t even have a cleaner. Haven’t they watched Four in a Bed?

Ben wants to enter Bess for sheepdog trials but they’ve got rid of their sheep! 😂

I like the Archers.
It can be a bit silly in plot line but I find it a relaxing distraction

Yep.. Guilty as Charged.. I'm a listener.
Agree , the Monologue rubbish.

Not any more. I used to tune in every day but gave up when Shulagh (sp?)'s husband Mark died.
Just occasionally I hear an episode but haven't got hooked again. Shulagh is too much of a goodie-goodie for me!

The story with Rex and getting muddled up with Fallon and Emma was a tad ridiculous. As for Tracey and Jazzer’s on off proposal…..

I totally gave up when it was monologues.

I listen but it's just a habit.
Not always very well written and the plots are too obvious they always seem to set them up a few weeks before.

Does anyone else listen?. I`ve been listening since Grace Archers and the fire !
